[Hairbase issue]

@VQQM What mesh head are you using? It looks a bit low on the forehead, is the hairbase made for that head?

It looks to me like the details are most likely rendered on a texture, perhaps? As in, rather than being detailed via transparency (so that it can be tinted), it is detailed via coloring. I would message the creator and ask.

If that is not the case - what viewer are you using? Are you exiting the "Edit appearance" mode entirely after tinting?

[How do other people react to your avatars?]

Random Stranger: “For some reason, your avatar isn't rezzing. You're all grey.”
Me: "Oh, no, I'm just using a temporary upload file so I can make skins."

99% of my interactions in a nutshell.

[Favorite given names?]

Ἀρια (Aria) which is my own name
Αττικός (Attikós in Greek, the closest English version is Atticus)
Αλέκος (Alékos in Greek, the closest English version is Alex)

[Can you add a store that's on rented land to the Places inworld search?]

Typically, yes. They will usually allow it. Just ask them if you're uncertain.
